My Very Little Dashie

"Rarity! Wake up! Please don't be dead! Wake up!" Rarity was fading into consciousness and the outline of Rainbow Dash began to come into focus.

"Uhh..."

"Oh, thank Celestia." Rainbow pulled Rarity up.

"I... Where. Where am I?"

"Still in the library. Only err..." Rarity examined her surroundings, shock slowly setting in. "It's kinda bigger than you remember."

"This isn't happening." Rarity paced the floor. Or table to be specific.

"I know it sucks... But look, we can--" she was cut off by a sudden throbbing pain across her cheek and the feel of blood hot on her face. "Ah... What the?" she looked up to see Rarity breathing hard and blood spread on her hoof and up her leg. "Did you..?" she was knocked over by another blow to the face. More blood splashed on the table. Rainbow was quick enough to prevent the third attack; she threw herself onto Rarity and the two crashed to the ground. The pegasus pinned Rarity down. "Knock it off!" she slowly got up letting Rarity regain her composure. The pair were breathing heavily and trying to wipe the blood off of themselves; all of it belonging to Rainbow. Their attempts only caused the blood to spread across them. Once Rarity got her breath back, she delivered a kick to Rainbow's stomach making her fold like a lawn chair.

"Do you have any idea how much grief you've caused?!" she punched her in the eye, "Twilight was broken when you rejected her!" another punch, "And now look at the mess you've got us into!" another punch. Rarity's hoof was beginning to hurt but she was too overwhelmed with anger to let it phase her. "You are without a doubt the most self centered pony in all of Equestria!" Rainbow looked up and spat out some more blood adding to the tiny puddle that was starting to form beside her. Rarity let herself drop to the floor in front of her.

There was a long silence before Rainbow decided it was safe to speak up. "I'm sorry." Rarity continued to stare at her bloody hooves. "Rarity, we can get out of this mess but we have to work together. I know you hate me right now and everything but if you want out of here then you have to help me out." she looked over for a second before going back to her blood soaked hooves. "If you can get this rope off of me, all I have to do is fly away in search of help." Rarity nodded in understanding and a shadow cast over the two. They looked up at Twilight who let out a gasp upon seeing the blood stained miniature ponies.

"Oh my goodness! Dashie, what happened to you?"

"Erm, nothing. we just had a little spat is all..." a purple aura surrounded her and she was being lifted by Twilight's magic.

"Come on. Let's get you cleaned up." she said sweetly, leaving Rarity on her own. The white (and red) unicorn went back to looking at the blood on her hooves and on the ground. Fuck... Where did yesterday go?

Twilight filled a teacup half way with water and helped Rainbow get inside. Although it was the most uncomfortable bath she had ever experienced she couldn't help but enjoy the feeling of the warm water embracing her body like a cocoon as it turned from a crystal clear to a misty red.

"So, what happened to you?" Twilight asked, bringing her enormous eyes closer to the bathing pony.

"I told you. Just a little spat." Rainbow kept her back to her. "Nothing to worry about."

"Did she hurt you?"

"No." Rainbow answered quickly,

"But you're bleeding."

"I'm fine."

"If she hurt you I can-"

"Twilight! I'm fine."

"...I can crush her like a bug." Twilight put her hoof on the counter and twisted it demonstrating how she would finish off the unicorn. Rainbow Dash couldn't hold her gaze with the hoof.

"Uhm, I think I'm clean now." she was levitated out of the cup and Twilight nuzzled her tiny body.

"There ya go! Isn't that better?"

Hours passed as Rainbow waited for Twilight to fall asleep; after bringing her back to the table she stayed to ensure Rarity wouldn't try to hurt 'her Dashie' again. The whole time she thought about what Twilight said. Crush her like a bug... Fuck... Just, fuck. Rarity had spent the hours staring at her hooves still. She must've memorised the exact shape the blood made on her and the table and come up with a name for said shape.

"Rarity. C'mon, pal, we have to get out of here. You remember what I asked you to do?" Rarity nodded and untied her wings. Rainbow flexed her wings getting the feeling back in them. They stuck slightly to her sides as she spread them out. It didn't hurt. Just felt good when it un-stuck. "Alright!" she let out a small laugh, trying not to wake the dormant unicorn. "Wait here and I'll go get help. I'll be as quick as I can. I promise."

"Good." Rarity didn't even look up to speak. It was almost as if looking at anything other than the blood would make her go blind. A rainbow trail lead to the keyhole in the library door and then faded away. She was gone.

"Oh, Rarity... Why do you insist on telling these lies?" Twilight said, hovering a pin above the cowering unicorn.

"I'm not! It's-- I-- She told me to untie her." the pin was pushed into the table beside her causing her to let out a small scream.

"That's not true! I know Dashie wouldn't leave me! So you must have told her to find help! Is that why she was bleeding? Did you beat her into submission?" she stabbed the table on the other side of her.

"No!"

"Are you afraid, Rarity?" she teased, "Afraid of one of these? Surely someone who works with needles all day wouldn't be afraid of such a common object..."

"Please... Stop."

"Not until I get my Dashie back." Twilight grabbed the string that had previously been used to tie Rainbow's wings down. "Now hold still..."
